note
was delighted to meet some of our lovely readers at the first Connector coffee morning recently. We enjoyed coffee and treats at The Gramercy along with freebie manicures thanks to Reflection Hair & Beauty Centre and Purity Med Spa - and not forgetting the free Connector goody bags! If you were unable to attend keep your eyes peeled as we move into 2014 as we’ll be hosting plenty more. So the festive season is upon us and what does it have in store this year? There’s comedy nights, pantomimes, visits to Santa’s Grotto, snow - yes I said snow, and not forgetting the Broadway musical Chicago! It’s all in here so you can make sure you don’t miss out on anything this month. Also inside there’s the usual great articles, including one that I found particularly interesting ‘Is it okay to…?’ It’s about all the little things we’ve been doing for years that we know we probably shouldn’t and just how bad, or not so bad, they are for us. Plus we’ve got some great competition prizes up for grabs so make sure you enter on www.mydubaiconnection.com or Facebook.com/ ConnectorDubai! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and I’ll see you all in 2014!

Thank you for highlighting the importance of smoke detectors in the home. Over the years I’ve lived in a number of villas here in the UAE and not one of them was fitted with a smoke detector. Fitting them around my home was one of the first things I did when moving in. They are really not expensive and you can always take them with you when you leave. As an ex-health and safety officer in my home country, I cannot stress enough how just one smoke detector can save your life should there be a fire….especially at night! Well done Connector! -John.

Ingredients one large baking sheet, lightly greased 5 fl oz (150 ml) milk 2 oz (50 grams) caster sugar 2 level teaspoons dried yeast 12 oz (340 grams) strong white bread flour ¼ level teaspoon salt 4 oz (110 grams) softened butter 1 large egg, beaten 1½ oz (40 grams) currants 2 oz (50 grams) sultanas 1½ oz (40 grams) no-soak apricots, chopped 1 oz (25 grams) glace cherries, rinsed, dried and quartered 1 oz (25 grams) mixed candied peel, finely diced 1 oz (25 grams) almonds, chopped ½ grated zest lemon 6 oz (175 grams) marzipan Glaze topping 4 oz (110 grams) icing sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Method
Pre heat oven to 190C (375F) (Gas 5). Warm the milk until you can just dip your finger in it. Pour into a glass bowl, add 1 teaspoon of the sugar and the dried yeast and leave until it forms a frothy head about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Next sift 11 oz (300 grams) of the flour together with the remaining sugar into a mixing bowl, and make a well in the centre. Pour the milk and yeast mixture into this, 40 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 40
then add the softened butter and beaten egg. Mix all together with your hands or a wooden spoon until the mixture is well blended and leaves the side of the bowl cleanly. Now work in the fruits, peel, nuts, salt and lemon zest, distributing them as evenly as possible. Knead the dough on a board for 5 minutes until it is springy and elastic. Cover the dough with cling film and leave in a warm place until it has doubled in size (this could take up to 2 hours). Turn the risen dough out onto a floured board using the reserved flour, and knock the air out of it, knead dough until it is smooth and elastic. Press dough out into an oblong 10 x 8 inch (25 x 20 cm). Using your hands, roll out the marzipan into a sausage shape and place along the centre of the dough, finishing just short of the edges. Fold the dough over the marzipan and carefully place the whole thing on to the baking sheet, allowing plenty of room for expansion. Leave to prove in a warm place until it has doubled in size again, bake in pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes. Cool on a baking sheet for about 5 minutes before lifting on to a wire rack to finish cooling. Glaze topping Sift the icing sugar and mix with the lemon juice, then using a palette knife spread over the top of the stolen (while it is still warm). Serve as fresh as possible, cut into thick slices, with or without butter. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! www.mydubaiconnection.com 11/25/13 9:05 PM

Safety at
HOME
Christmas tree lights and other electrical decorations can often create power problems in your home, as well as generate a fire hazard.
E
very year, around the world, emergency services get called out to homes where Christmas trees have caught fire. If that happens, the least of your worries will be saving your Christmas presents, so make sure you keep your tree watered and away from sources of danger. Use lights with low heat as this will prevent your tree from drying out too much. Make sure that all the strings of lights are in good condition and that there are no frayed wires. Also, do not weigh down your tree with too many decorations. Do not overload Check your power supply and do not overload your electrical outlets, particularly if you live in an older house that may not have enough electrical capacity. Spread the load by using extension cords plugged into outlets in rooms not usually in use. Always use a surge protector and never run extension cords under rugs or across areas where people walk. Save electricity Leaving unused appliances plugged in while you are out is not just a fire hazard, it is costing you money. Phantom loads created by plugged-in electrical appliances that are not in use, can account for as much as 10% of your monthly utility bill. The importance of smoke detectors These low cost and life-saving appliances provide early warning in the event of fire, and will give you and your family sufficient time to remove yourself from danger. Many people neglect to install smoke alarms and even those who do have smoke alarms often take them for granted, forgetting that they need to be checked and tested periodically to ensure they are working properly.

10 energy saving tips for your refrigerator
1. Keeping your refrigerator full actually helps increase energy efficiency because there is less air to cool when space is taken up. 2. Make sure you keep liquids covered and also to wrap foods when they are stored in the refrigerator as uncovered foods leave moisture making the compressor work harder. 3. Refrigerators and freezers should not be set too cold. Refrigerators should maintain a temperature of 2.7 to 4.4 degrees Celsius and freezers should be at minus 15 degrees Celsius. 4. Make sure that there is proper air flow around the refrigerator without any hindrances so that it can run more efficiently. 5. Automatic ice makers increase a refrigerator’s energy use by 14-20%. Turn yours off, and go back to ice cube trays. 6. Placing cereal boxes and other junk on top of your refrigerator could block heat from escaping and cause it to work harder - not good for your electric bill or the lifespan of your fridge.
7. Always keep your refrigerator on the energy saving mode as regardless of how much food you keep in your fridge, it will save the energy when you are not using it. 8. To maximise the refrigerator efficiency, it is important to ensure that there is space at the back, sides and top of fridges to allow excess heat to escape. Restricting aeration can add approximately 15% to the energy use of the fridge. 9. Allow hot food to cool before putting them in the refrigerator. 10. Instead of regularly opening and closing the refrigerator before cooking, try to conserve energy by getting all of the ingredients out at once. Brought to you by Eros Group.

BUSINESS & legal
ADVERTORIAL
Where there’s no Will For expatriates living in the UAE, there is a very simple reason to make a Will. The Government of Dubai’s official website states that ‘the UAE Courts will adhere to Sharia law in any situation where there is no Will in place’.
The top five hazards of not having a Will
1. You are automatically subject to unclear UAE legislation as to inheritance/ succession issues for expats. 2. You do not have any valid and recognised evidence of intention - without a Will in place courts have a choice whether to apply Sharia Law or the laws of your home country. 3. Courts can intervene and where you have children can appoint guardians even if the mother is surviving. 4. The distribution of the estate may be contrary to your wishes; as Sharia Law involves fixed ratios to be distributed to legal heirs, for example the wife only receives 1/8th of the total estate. This means if you die without a Will, the local courts will examine your estate and distribute it according to Sharia Law. While this may sound fine, its implications may not be so. All personal assets of the deceased, including bank accounts, will be frozen until liabilities have been discharged. 5. There is no right of survivorship where property is held in joint names, for example the surviving spouse will not inherit the deceased’s share automatically. 6. There is no automatic succession or transfer of shares between partners where businesses are concerned.
Benefits of a Will
The top five reasons why you should consider setting up a Will 1. Control of your assets: You can be in control of your assets and to whom they go to. 2. Protection for your children. You can 52 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 52
nominate guardians of your choice. Unless a will specifies who should raise your children, there is a possibility that their care may be entrusted to others. 3. Choice of the governing law: If you have a Will, you are indicating to the court that you want the laws of your home country to apply. 4. Make gifts: You can leave bequests (gifts to other individuals upon your death) for non-family members or family members, and exclude those assets from your estate. 5. Avert family disputes: Through a properly set up Will, you can avoid family disputes that can estrange family members from each other due to misunderstandings and false expectations. If you do not have proper plans in place, you simply cannot ascertain what will happen after your death: whether your family will be provided for, who will look after your business, and when and how your beneficiaries will actually stand to benefit. It is best to be prepared today for all that may, and can, happen tomorrow. In preparing for the future of your family and the disposition of your assets, be sure to conduct due diligence and involve the expertise of qualified legal professionals who are there to advise you on how you can best protect your interests and those of your loved ones.

The perfect
s n e e t r o f GIFTS Babies, toddlers and young children are easy to buy for, often favouring the box over the actual gift! However, choosing the right present for a teenager is not always straight-forward. Whether it is their birthday, Eid or Christmas, here are some excellent teen gift ideas for those of you needing inspiration. • Kiva.org is a non-profit organisation that connects people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the Internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world. Purchase a $25 Kiva gift certificate and this money is then lent to help someone establish a small business to lift themselves (and their families) out of poverty. Will your teen lend the $25 to help Gloria set up a duck farm in the Philippines or will she choose Zoumo in Ghana who needs the funds to start a rice market stall? Best of all, when the loan is repaid, your teen can re-lend the money to another needy person many times over. • Party games like Taboo, Pictionary, Scattergories, Twister or Cranium are great gifts that will entertain teens while they spend time with their friends or family. Board games provide affordable and fun entertainment at 56 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 56
parties, sleepovers or get-togethers or on days or evenings when they do not feel like going to the mall or to the movies. • A year’s subscription to a favourite magazine is a great gift idea that will save them both time and money. Do a little research into which magazines they already buy and look into a subscription that delivers to the UAE or better still, one that is available online. • Everyone needs a desk lamp, but it does not have to be a boring one. A funky lava lamp (also known as an Astro lamp) is a cool 1960s icon that has stood the test of time. A lava lamp is a practical gift idea and a great way to decorate and personalise a teen’s room. • Are you shopping for someone who loves watching movies? The price of portable DVD players has plummeted yet they are still a very useful gadget. Portable DVD players provide entertainment anywhere, whether on a long road trip, at family gatherings, or while hanging out with friends. It is also the perfect way to keep teens occupied during long rides in cars or airplanes. • Need more ideas? Teen girls love cosy, crazy coloured, patterned socks, sleep masks and sparkly nail polishes - teen boys love cool body sprays, aftershave and gadgets such as novelty alarm clocks. • Of course, you have many other options too including books, concert or event tickets, music CDs, DVDs, gift cards, movie tickets and the good old staple - cold hard cash! www.mydubaiconnection.com 11/25/13 9:07 PM

Keeping kids safe indoors
W
e all like to think of the home as a safe haven for our children. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Fire and burns
Fires and burns cause thousands of deaths and hospitalisations every year, yet most are easily prevented, by installing and maintaining a smoke alarm for example. Smokers should keep matches, lighters and ashtrays out of a child’s sight and reach. Electrical sockets should be childproofed with plastic plugs, and frayed, broken or worn electrical cords should be replaced. Children should be taught that irons, curling and straightening tongs, grills, and ovens can get very hot and are dangerous. Appliances should be unplugged after use, and children should never be left unattended near any of them. When cooking in the kitchen, pot handles should be turned inwards and spoons and utensils should not be left in pots; cups of hot liquids should be kept out of reach.
balloons, coins, marbles, pen lids, small toys or parts of toys, small balls and button-type batteries. These items should be kept away from young children and it is important to remember that if there are older children in the house, their toys should not be left within reach of a younger child.
Choking
Falls are the most common cause of childhood injury but rarely fatal. All balconies should have railings of 4 inch spacing or less to prevent a child from slipping through and be at least 36 inches in height. Locks can also be put on sliding windows to stop them from opening more than 4 inches. Children should be supervised at all times, particularly around open windows, and they should be discouraged or prohibited from playing on balconies. Falls can also take place within the home; so stairs need to be childproofed with a stair gate at each end.
Choking occurs when food or small objects get caught in the throat and block the airway. This prevents oxygen from getting to the lungs and the brain. When the brain goes without oxygen for more than four minutes, brain damage or even death may occur. Two thirds of choking victims are children under a year old. Food is one of the most common choking dangers for young children, and to reduce the risks of choking on food, children younger than four years old should not be fed any round firm food (for example hot dogs, grapes, or raisins) unless it is chopped completely. There are also several household items which can be choking hazards for children: Latex 58 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 58
Poisoning
The most dangerous potential poisons in the home for young children are medicines, cleaning products, pesticides, gasoline and kerosene. These products should be kept locked away in a cabinet out of the reach or sight of children; if items are kept in a cupboard, use a safety latch. All potential poisons should be kept in their original containers to avoid confusion.

Saving for your child’s
education
The money you spend on your child’s education could be one of your family’s biggest expenses. A recent report from the Guardian UK states the cost of education is up 124% from 2003.
P
arents across all continents and borders are indeed finding education for their children very expensive. It will come as no surprise that the most expensive years of raising a child on average are between the ages of 18 to 21. Wanting your children to have the best education possible makes it, now more than ever, essential to start planning. Here are a five tips to help you get ahead. 1. Start saving from the moment your child is born. The earlier you start the easier it is. Putting a smaller amount away for a longer period makes it easier on your other household expenses. Start now and with an amount you are comfortable with and be sure to increase it over time. 2. Work out how much money you need. This will depend on the type of school and university you want your children to go to. Factor in how many children you have. Don’t forget to include the extras like school uniforms, trips, sports, extra tuition, textbooks, equipment, travel and rent. Don’t worry about being exact, the
60 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 60
important thing here is to get a rough estimate which becomes your goal. 3. Create a fee timetable and work out the dates fees are due and put into a simple planner. This will help you know how long you have to raise such amounts. 4. Separate education savings from any other savings pot. This will help you see where you are to your goal. Have a separate pot for each child. Be sure to refer to your savings pot as ‘Children’s Education’. The psychological connection will stop you from spending it on other bills that come up and also help you stay committed to saving long term. 5. Create a plan of action. Find the right savings options for you. You could put your savings into various different accounts from bank accounts to education plans and managed funds. A good plan will include all of the above. Sitting with a financial planner will make this easier for you to work out. If you do, be sure to ask the right questions on the product features, fees and benefits. Choose an adviser that comes personally recommended to you. All parents want their children to do well in school. Planning for your children’s education early will help your child have a high-quality learning experience. With thanks to Rasheda Khatun.

How to choose a pacifier
Many parents wonder if they should allow children to use pacifiers and what type of pacifier is most suitable. Children can use pacifiers until the age of 3 to 5 years. Pacifiers generally have three parts - the nipple, the screen that rests on the baby’s lips, and the button that is attached to the screen and helps to hold the pacifier when inserted or removed from the mouth. First, it should be sturdily manufactured and the screen should be molded with the nipple as one piece so there is no failure at the junction which could pose a potential choking hazard. The second important characteristic is the size of the screen, which should be big enough for the age of the child so it does not fit completely in the mouth. Holes are necessary as part of the pacifier, so that when it is put in the mouth it will not obstruct the air passage. In addition, the nipple should be wide enough to support the palate with the smallest neck possible. It is also preferable that the pacifier is symmetrical and has more than one way of insertion in the mouth. The screen should be concave to follow the shape of the lips with the inner surface embossed so that it will not attach firmly to the lips. This kind of screen also helps in preventing irritation of the area due to saliva trapping. With thanks to Dr Elias Berdouses, Specialist Paediatric Dentistry.
Early learning your child’s foundation On the birth of a child many parents race to reserve a place at the elite school they think will best prepare their child for university. Yet most of them are unaware that their child’s fundamental abilities, talents and capabilities will be set and established years before the child arrives at the chosen school. A child’s core aptitudes and skills are embedded by age seven. In the first three years, a child’s brain will treble its weight and establish a thousand trillion nerve connections. These early years are the time for stimulation and education. If your child has artistic talent, a head for mathematics or a flair for languages it will be set by the time of their seventh birthday party. So what can you do to give your child the right foundation? Hummingbird operates two leading edge early education centres in DIFC. The centres are staffed with qualified teachers and they follow the UK Early Years’ Foundation Curriculum. Their aim is to lay the foundation for excellence in education by giving your child the intellectual, creative and social stimulation all children crave. Hummingbird baby programme, for children aged 3 months to 2.5 years, stimulates development across the full spectrum - motor skills, sensory recognition, cognitive skills, socialisation, music and speech. For children 2.5 to 7 years old, Hummingbird Pre-school offers a structured programme to encourage and extend your child. Activities include science, technology, creative writing, maths, art and French classes. Hummingbird has purpose-built indoor facilities, full of space, light and colour.

A pet’s eye view of
Christmas -
by Kitty Cat and Sam Dog
B
elieve it or not, us cats and dogs do not understand your celebrations and festivities. Even though we love lots of attention and most of us enjoy meeting new people, we do sometimes get a little overwhelmed by changes in routine and too much excitement. This can make us react in unexpected ways that may be different from our usual behaviour and sometimes you, our owner, do not want it. So below are some tips on how to enjoy your Christmas and New Year fun without stressing us too much: • Don’t feed us turkey bones or other leftovers. Cooked bones are brittle and can cause us to choke. Table scraps can also cause severe stomach upsets and blockages. • Make sure Christmas lights and decorations are out of our reach. We think they are toys and might chew them and this will harm us. And please turn them off at night - they keep us awake with all that flashing. • Do not feed us any type of chocolate, some of us do love the flavour, but it is actually toxic for us animals and could poison us as it over stimulates our heart. • Be careful what plants you put in our home,
66 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 66
Poinsettia, Holly, Ivy and Mistletoe are all poisonous for us and it can be very tempting for us play with the berries and chew plants that we can reach. • Loud music can hurt our ears and we are not all fans of ‘Frostie, the Snowman’ at full volume. So we would prefer you put us in another room away from the music so we don’t stress too much. • We would really like it if you would consider us when you have parties or friends over. We can get freaked out if there is lots of noise and excitement. We would prefer to be put in a quiet place like a bedroom or spare room away from all the commotion because your fun and games are not necessarily fun for us. If you can keep our routine as normal as possible, we will thank you for not changing what is familiar to us with lots of hugs and cuddles. • Last but not least, don’t forget to get us pet friendly presents. Even though we have set you some rules to follow that doesn’t mean we have to miss out on the gifts! Happy Holidays from www.homelypetz.com. www.mydubaiconnection.com 11/25/13 9:08 PM

Teste & d Trie
Anti-ageing replumping Endermolift @ LPG Skin expert for nearly 30 years now, LPG has drawn on the fundamentals of regenerative medicine to create a new generation of antiageing treatments. The treatments boost Collagen, Elastin and Hyaluronic Acid for volume and hydration.
What’s involved?
My LPG specialist determined the appropriate programme for my skin’s needs - the anti-ageing replumping Endermolift, which restores the skin’s density for a natural volumising effect, doubles the skin’s ‘self-hydration’, and smoothes wrinkles and fine lines in just 30 minutes. A small hand held device was massaged over my skin and the treatment was finished off with LPG products to maximise results.
What are the results?
The most impressive thing about this new treatment is that the results can be seen from the first session. So after the first session I noticed that my skin looked healthier, more glowing and plump and the lines were reduced. Six sessions later and you can really see the results - I had a really deep ‘laughter line’ under one eye (actually its more of a crevice and it’s probably not from laughing!) that has reduced dramatically. My skin looks and feels fantastic, definitely more hydrated without looking greasy. LPG have done it again and I’ll absolutely be continuing with this treatment!
Cavitation & Velasmooth @ Slimspa
Despite a healthy diet and regular exercise, I had stubborn fat round my abdomen and arms which I just couldn’t shift. That was until I heard about Slimspa’s non-invasive, targeted, cavitation treatments (aka fat burning).
What’s involved?
My problem areas were assessed and measured and a combination treatment of AMI Cavitation, Velasmooth and Venus B.E.A.M was recommended. Cavitation is a non-invasive treatment that targets fat and cellulite which are generally resistant to diet and exercise. Using low frequency ultrasound, fat is broken down, and dispelled from the body naturally resulting in instant fat loss. Other than a beeping sound which can be heard from within your body (the ultra sound waves) the process is comfortable. This treatment was followed by the Velasmooth pro system - a vaccum type machine massager which tightens skin, contours the body and promotes lymphatic drainage. On my third session the Venus B.E.A.M treatment was introduced to tone my muscles and firm my skin.
What are the results?
The results are very impressive! After my very first treatment I lost a total of 6.5cm from 3 areas around my abdomen, and 1cm off each arm. I continued to see dramatic losses over the second and third session and by the fourth session I had lost a total of 23cm around my abdomen and 2cm around each arm. The stubborn fat has gone, and I have dropped at least one dress size without any effort on my behalf. Highly recommended.
How much?
The treatments are priced at Dhs 250 per session, Dhs 1,260 for 6 and Dhs 2,280 for 12.
A session of Velapro is Dhs 850 and a package of 8 sessions is Dhs 4,800. A session of Cavitation is Dhs 700 and a package of 8 sessions is Dhs 3,750. 3-10 sessions are recommended for optimum results.

What’s involved?

HEALTHY living
Is it okay to...? … eat green potatoes? …sleep in your contact lenses? … cut out fat? … crack your knuckles? … pluck out a grey hair? … eat before swimming? … keep make-up on all night? The answers to these, and to other little sins or habits or lifestyle decisions we make every day, may surprise you.
P
erhaps you do them almost subconsciously - those little habits, like cleaning out your ears with cotton buds, which have become such a part of your daily routine that you don’t give them a moment’s thought. Or perhaps they’re just occasional, casual sins - ‘just this once won’t hurt,’ you reassure yourself, as you climb into bed with full make-up on and contact lenses still in place. Or maybe they’re bigger lifestyle changes and decisions - such as a punishing new daily exercise regime, or an extreme change in diet, which you feel will benefit you. Every day we make casual, or short-term or long-term decisions that directly affect our health, nutritional status and appearance. But is it okay to be doing them? Sadly, not always…
88 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 88
Is it okay to… sleep in your contact lenses?
“Unless your contacts are extended-wear lenses designed to be worn overnight, emphatically not,” says optometrist Keith Holland. He adds, “The eye’s cornea has no blood supply, and gets its oxygen from tears into which atmospheric oxygen has dissolved. Most lenses allow oxygen through, but keeping them on at night restricts oxygen too much, and the cornea starts to swell in an attempt to ‘suck in’ more oxygen from tears”. This swelling causes sore, blurry and prickly eyes in the morning, and leaves them vulnerable to infection - in some cases sight-threatening ones. You may get away with it once or twice, but “if the cornea is www.mydubaiconnection.com 11/25/13 9:09 PM
regularly compromised in this way, a secondary mechanism kicks in, and fragile blood vessels will start to grow into the cornea in an attempt to supply it with oxygen,” says Holland. “These can haemorrhage and blur your vision.”
external pollution in the previous 24-hour period. The more you wash and condition, the better, according to Glenn.
Is it okay to… go on another fad diet?
“It’s okay to wipe the outside of your ear with a facecloth or cotton wool, but poking around your ear canal can harm its delicate lining, and cause bleeding and oozing which can get infected,” says audiologist Angela King. “Poking wax can push it further in, impacting it and blocking hearing, and if you knock the bud against your eardrum you can damage it painfully.” Angela recommends a few drops of warm olive oil to soften stubborn wax so that it can work its way out of its own accord, or even
Those who have tried repeatedly to lose weight by any number of means are constantly vulnerable to succumbing to the temptation of the latest diet craze. But there is a risk, if you try yet another unorthodox weight-loss plan and fail, of establishing or further reinforcing an unhealthy relationship with food, and risking psychological upset and depression. “We live in a quick fix society,” says dietitian Nigel Denby, “but there’s no magic solution to dealing with a weight problem. Nobody goes to bed obese and wakes up slim, or vice versa. It takes years of repeated behaviour to develop a weight problem and it takes time to undo it, not a quick-fix diet”. He advises that it is far better for all women to learn to enjoy foods in a balanced way. “Nothing should be off-limits,” he advises. “For instance, if you’re drinking four cans of cola a day, that’s a problem - but one can is okay in the context of a healthy diet. Banning foods such as sweet foods, or carbohydrate-rich foods, which fad diets inevitably do, does not work.”
Is it okay to… use cotton buds in your ears?
Is it okay to… wash your hair every day?
More than okay. It’s actually beneficial, according to trichologist Glenn Lyons. “There are two myths to dispel,” he says. “Firstly, that daily washing rinses natural oils out of the hair, which is nonsense, because oil doesn’t travel down the length of the hair shaft, but stays on the scalp, where it is quickly replaced after washing. And secondly, that it speeds up hair loss, a myth derived from the fact that loss of hair is more noticeable when we wash it, but only because this loosens those hairs which are due to fall out naturally anyway.” The benefits of washing come from the moisturising effects of water on the hair, and the flushing away of dead skin (dandruff ), waste products in sweat and oils on the scalp which have attracted and collected dirt and www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 89

HEALTHY living better, see a doctor. Attempting to remove wax constantly is inadvisable. “I know people do it and if they’re very careful they get away with it, but I would discourage it as much as possible,” she says. “Earwax is there for a reason: in combination with the ear’s tiny hairs, it collects particles of dust and dirt, which then moves its way gently out of the ear quite naturally. This is a selfcleaning, protective mechanism and it’s best to interfere with it as little as possible.”
Is it okay to… eat green potatoes?
Yes, but only in small amounts. Green areas on potatoes contain high levels of a toxic alkaloid called solanine which, when consumed in large quantities, can bring on severe abdominal pain. The key problem with potatoes in modern times is one of storage. Where once they were sold encrusted in mud and kept out of light in brown paper bags, nowadays they are washed and prepared for us and sold in transparent bags. This allows light through, which encourages the potato to produce solanine. Avoid buying green-tinged spuds, and when preparing them, trim green areas away - the rest of the spud is fine to eat.
Is it okay to… crack your knuckles?
There is no major health risk involved, according to studies, which have not found any link between arthritis and knuckle-cracking. However, the habit is not without risk. A 1999 report published in the American Journal of Orthopedics outlined the cases of two patients who had caused acute short-term damage to their hands after attempting to crack their knuckles. “Acute injuries can result from the forceful manipulation needed to achieve the audible pop of cracking knuckles and that patients should be counselled accordingly,” wrote the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center physicians who treated the patients. Surveys have suggested that habitual knucklecrackers may have weaker grips than those who don’t indulge in the habit, and may also be more likely to develop swollen fingers over time. 90 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 90
Is it okay to… eat before swimming?
Many of us were warned as kids not to take a dip soon after a meal because it may give you stomach cramps and get you into trouble in the water. But it’s a myth, according to sports scientist Alyssa Abbey. However, “you might not want to eat if it makes you feel nauseated,” she says. “This can happen during exercise when the muscles need more oxygen, and blood flow is directed away from the digestive system, so that food just sits in the stomach, unprocessed. For most people, not eating for an hour before any workout is a good rule of thumb.” In fact, she says a light snack of a banana, nuts or yoghurt an hour or so before a swim can benefit you, providing some energy to fuel your workout.
Is it okay to… pluck out a grey hair?
You know how it is. You’re admiring your lusciously red or beautiful blonde or seductive brunette locks and suddenly a stray unwanted grey hair catches your eye, floating inappropriately in among the glorious colour. Do you shrug at it or tug at it? “By all means pluck it out but it will only be replaced eventually by another grey hair,” says Glenn Lyons. “Grey hair is progressive, and there will come a point as you get older when if you don’t want grey hair you will have to colour it.” He adds: “When you pluck a hair you ‘traumatise’ the hair follicle, and if you do this regularly the follicle will give up entirely and not grow any more, so you could risk thinning your hair in the long run.”
Is it okay to… sit close to the telly?
Your mum always told you it was bad for your eyes, but is it true? “Hard scientific evidence is lacking, but I personally feel it’s not a good idea to sit too close,” says Keith Holland. “If you watch TV close up, it puts your vision into a forced static state, with a lowered blink rate, which is not good for your eyes. There is some anecdotal evidence to suggest habitually sitting too close to the screen can moderately accelerate short-sightedness.” www.mydubaiconnection.com 11/25/13 9:09 PM

HEALTHY living He adds: “As when using and staring at a computer, you should look away from a TV every ten or fifteen minutes, and get up and move about at least every hour”.
Is it okay to… leave make-up on overnight?
“It’s not generally conducive to healthy skin,” says dermatologist Sally Penford of the International Dermal Institute. “Make-up can contain heavy wax and oil bases and artificial colours, which can congest the skin and cause blackheads. Foundations, lipsticks, bronzers and blushers are particularly problematic.” Sally recommends cleansing at night - a chore all too easy to skimp after a late night. Because your skin constantly produces sebum, the combination of this, moisture and make-up can attract dust, bacteria, fungus, airborne pollutants and other particles which adhere to the skin throughout the day. Neglecting cleansing will leave your skin sluggish and grey and layered with gungy dead skin cells. A tissue off cleanser is the quickest way to do the deed.
“Congestion is less of an issue around the eyes,” adds Sally, “but the artificial pigments in eye make-up can cause eye sensitisation if left on overnight, meaning you wake up with sore eyes. Again, a tissue off cleanser is all you need.”
Is it okay to… eliminate fat?
“No it isn’t,” says nutritionist Pamela Mason, “but a lot of women are doing this because there are so many inaccurate and unhelpful messages out there, which have become confused and have led women to think all fats are bad and should be eliminated. This is just not the case”. She adds: “Although we need to restrict saturated fats to lower our risk of heart disease, we must include good fats in our diets, namely unsaturated fatty acids (omega 3 and 6) and monounsaturated fats (omega 9)”. The parent omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA), respectively, and these are essential, because the body can convert them to other forms of omega 3 and 6, needed for everything from healthy immunity and anti-inflammatory purposes, to healthy hair and skin. Good fats are found in nuts, seeds, olives, fish - and their oils - and some spreads. Keep consumption of fatty meats and dairy products modest, and biscuits, cakes and desserts very low indeed.
Is it okay to… exercise every day?
“It depends on how hard you’re working out,” says Alyssa Abbey. “If you’re training at thirty minutes or more at around 70% of your maximum heart rate - which is typically 220 minus your age - then you’re working your muscles hard enough to require a day off each week, because your muscles need recovery time from the breakdown caused by training.” In those 48-hour periods between workouts, Alyssa says muscles can rebuild their fibres and any inflammation in joints can reduce. “Besides, it’s good mentally to just have a lie-in and not think about exercise,” she adds. “Of course, if you’re just walking the dog daily or exercising lightly - exercise every day is absolutely fine.” 92 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 92

holidal atipys surviv
Nutritionist and founder of Good Habits, Carole Holditch knows all about over indulging at this time of year and during the party season. After all we are human and ‘tis the season to make merry!
C
arole says, “My first survival tip is to know that it is normal to add a few pounds (temporarily) at this time of the year. You can either choose to allow yourself a few extra pounds, or you can choose to employ some survival tips to avoid the weight gain”. No matter what you choose, here are her tips to having a good time without going overboard. 1. Plan ahead (of course, that’s why you are reading this). 2. Learn about food substitutions. Eating healthily doesn’t mean you have to miss out just make smart replacements. 3. Eat only what you want, not as an obligation to others for cooking your favourite dish. You are the one who will have to live with your decision. Others may actually respect you more for standing up for yourself. 4. Practice assertiveness skills so you can refuse foods or activities without feeling guilty or hurting others’ feelings. 5. Choose to eat healthily ahead of time. 6. No skipping meals prior to a dinner out or the holiday feast. Being overly hungry can result in loss of control and a binge at meal time. 7. Allow yourself to taste what you want in smaller portions so you don’t feel deprived. Healthy eating is not a punishment so don’t set yourself up for a binge by depriving yourself of your favourites. You’ll only resent it. 8. Visualise yourself eating healthily prior to going to your party or dinner. 9. Be conscious of what you are doing and eating. 94 | DECEMBER Connector Connector Master Layout - December 2013.indd 94
10. No picking before or after the meal. Eat only at the dinner table. 11. Chew slowly and enjoy your food. Put your fork down between each bite. 12. Exercise a little longer and a little harder during the holiday season. This will burn off the extra calories, keep your metabolism revved and help you beat stress. 13. Make a conscious effort to choose what you are eating without the guilt attached. 14. Stop eating when you are physically full. Start learning now to recognise the difference between physical and emotional hunger. 15. Manage your emotions. Have a plan for what you will do in the event strong emotions arise when faced with certain situations or family members. Don’t follow a row with a trip to the biscuit tin. 16. Reduce stress. Practice relaxation activities (deep breathing, meditation, yoga, neck rolling, etc) prior to going to the family dinner. 17. Take time out when you feel things are getting out of control for you emotionally. 18. Take control of your thoughts, feelings and actions before, during and after the holiday. 19. Know that putting on a couple of pounds will not cause you to go back to square one. It’s okay! 20. Resume your lifestyle of balance and wellness just after the holiday has passed. Working through these tips will help to reduce the stress; emotional turmoil and weight gain, helping you have a very merry holiday season!

ARIES 20 Mar - 19 Apr
Changeable, exciting Uranus in Aries makes a brilliant aspect to the Sun, which may bring vitality and courage for dealing with domestic costs in a different way.

TAURUS 20 Apr - 20 May

GEMINI 21 May - 20 Jun
An unreliable source of news needs double checking around the 6th before following any advice you receive and don’t let an over emotional reaction, on your part, at the time of the full Moon on the 17th, spoil a partner’s plans. They are probably full of inspirational ideas that are worth listening to and may enable you all to celebrate an occasion in style.
CANCER 21 Jun - 22 Jul

Some resourceful planning should get you where you want to be.
LIBRA 23 Sep – 22 Oct
Your solar ruler, gentle Venus in an area of your chart governing domesticity makes a brilliant aspect to sexy Mars. After the 8th your energy levels should increase enormously enabling you to organise a glamorous event.
